Any human being of any gender who has not had a double mastectomy can get breast cancer. Unless you have had such a procedure, you have breast tissue. Men who carry the BRCA2 genetic variant are at greater risk, just like women. It's not common, but it's also not unheard-of.

This is a question often directed toward undocumented immigrants living in the United States.
But the pathway to American citizenship for the vast majority is long, complex, and financially draining.
